Answer this question for a lifetime of happiness and health

Hi, this is Dr. Daniels and welcome to Healing with Dr. Daniels. You are listening to the Sunday, October 18th, 2020 edition. Our topic today is “Answer This Question for a Life of Health and Happiness.” Spoiler alert: there’s no wrong answer. But if you answer this question, you will live a happy and healthy life. Today, I'm going to address a question most people avoid. Answering this question for yourself allows you to replace misery, suffering, and poor health with happiness, fulfillment, and vitality. And as always, think happens.

But first, we are going to take our turpentine. Yay, turpentine. As many of you know, I love, love, love turpentine. I discovered it in the 90s. It was a health tonic and cure-all used by prior generations, and all the people who used it were living into their 90s. I was like, "Whoa, let me check this out." You can find out what I found by going to vitalitycapsules.com, entering your email address, and downloading my report—31 pages. It’s free, though it used to sell for as much as $800 or $900 for the PDF.

All right, we have sugar, and then we have turpentine. Since we’re talking natural healing, we have to get just the right amount. We don’t want too much or too little. Here I have my pipette, and as you can see, the neck is filled. We’re going to put it on the sugar. Bam. All right, a little more, a little more, a little more. Great. A little bit of water. Mmm.

Anything that gets on the outside of my lips, I do not lick my lips. I wipe them. No, it does not taste that good, but it doesn’t taste that bad. It’s not as bad tasting as a lot of other herbal things are. So that’s our turpentine.

Now, let’s get our Shilajit. Where’s our Shilajit? That’s our Shilajit. Shilajit is... I don’t know if you can appreciate it, but it is gooey. Today, I’m using my chopstick. I’m just going to scoop up a little bit here. That is way too much. We only need 200 milligrams. I’m going to clean off that chopstick. That’s about right. It’s about a quarter of a quarter teaspoon. As you can see, it does not readily dissolve in water. So we’re going to let it sit there while we do the show, and at the end, I’ll either drink it at the end of the show or later on.

Today’s topic: This is the most important life question that people fail to answer. Ignoring this question can lead to losing your desire to live. As many of you know, my mother is 88 years old, and we’re going through this process. It’s like, "Uh-oh, we overlooked something." That’s really what today’s program is devoted to—sharing with you what our family overlooked, so that you can avoid the same thing.

Living forever is a popular fantasy, and death in the United States culture is regarded as a failure. No death is greeted as welcome. This unfortunate view has led to a lot of misery and personal failure, transferring wealth to charlatans and crooks who promise immortality. Michael Jackson, for example, aspired to immortality, spent lots of money sleeping in oxygen chambers, and doing all kinds of things, only to die in his fifties. Many health nuts, like Andreas Moritz, another one, died at age 44. What went wrong? What did these people overlook? Today, I’m not going to talk to you about diet, water, or exercise. Instead, I’m going to talk to you about strategy. If fearing death and aiming for immortality is not productive, what’s an alternative?

As many of you know, my mother is 88 years old and dealing with the challenges that come with that age. Her latest challenge is getting strong enough to get to the bedside commode and wipe her own butt. Yes. Now, she’s pretty optimistic about this, and we’re all rooting for her. Of course, she’s at a skilled nursing facility, hoping soon, slash one day, to go home. But where did we go wrong?

Mom said she never wanted to be in a nursing home; she wanted to be at home. Dad left her with enough money to get through her lifetime with a little help from Social Security. We set up a trust. We checked with her to be sure she had everything. We sent the grandkids in rotation to spend time with her. But, you know, she’s 88, right? So the grandkids are getting on in years—they’re in their thirties now, and many of them have lives of their own. They could do a week here, a week there. So, mom is in a nursing home, and what we all worked so hard to avoid is upon us.

So I asked mom, "Hey, mom, how are you doing?" Bit by bit, I get the details. Now, I want to tell you, we had organized, I mean SWAT team, everything. We were going to extract mom, set up 24-hour care, and figured out she needed physical therapy. We were going to hire a personal trainer. I mean, the whole family was mobilized. We were on it. Mom said, "Wait a minute. I’m going to hang out here in the nursing home a little longer." We’re like, "Huh?"

So I’m talking to mom, and bit by bit, I get the details of the conversations she’s enjoying with the staff at the skilled nursing facility. Then she erupts into a rant about a pandemic that will kill all of humanity, and political leaders are failing us. She’s hoping these leaders die. I said, "Well, mom, back up. How did we get from learning to walk to the bathroom and wipe your butt to wishing bad things for other people? What happened here?" She smugly informed me, "I’ve been watching the six o’clock news, and I’m following the science." Well, that’s when the light went on. What she really wanted was to remain socially relevant. She wanted to feel included and important.

Sitting at home in an empty house, realizing that her kids didn’t need her, the grandkids didn’t need her, and that she was really not much use to herself, she didn’t have much stimulation. People would call in—this person would maybe call once a week, that one would call maybe once a month. She didn’t have what she felt was a meaningful life. Perhaps if she had been surrounded by three-year-olds running around laughing, teenagers falling in love, 20-somethings making her recipes and asking her if it tasted good. Or maybe if she had someone to take the high-end sewing machine she gave away and the fully appointed sewing room with all the beautiful fabrics she had collected. Maybe if that person had made dresses and pants for the grandchildren or the great-grandchildren and showed her the beautiful things they made. Maybe if she could hear the challenges of the 30-somethings, the success stories of the 40-somethings, hear their stories, tell them hers, and offer encouragement and inspiration.

But no, she only decided that she did not want to be resuscitated, and she wants to die at home. Well, her home is empty. She has no social interactions. All the children are scattered. The traditions, the celebrations, the knowledge—not passed on or even given life. She is now clinging to the toxic synthetic substitute for inclusion and caring—the toxic synthetic substitute of skilled nursing home staff, the six o’clock news, and making requests all day long.

We are conditioned to want so little from life. For example, I sewed all my clothes as a teenager. It was a lot of fun. Mom taught me how to sew, and I sewed all my clothes. As an adult, I sewed clothes for my kids, not as much, just special Christmas outfits and things. But when it came time to let go of my fabric collection and my fine sewing machine, I had not passed the art on to my children. So all those beautiful things were given away piecemeal with no single person receiving the full package of everything they might ever need to sew any garment they wanted. I mean, I even sewed coats. And certainly, I had not passed on the knowledge I had accumulated while sewing. My mother was in a similar situation, only magnified by her social situation.

Do you want all your stuff to become meaningless junk when you die? Or do you want to start creating relationships where you can teach the craft, art, or hobby to a member of the next generation? Maybe make up your mind. The question you have to ask is not, "How much money do I want to make?" or "Where do I want to live?" or "Do I want to be resuscitated?" Nope. If that’s what you start with, then you’re going to totally miss it by a mile. Instead, make up your mind about how you want to die. This is very important. Pick a time and date certain, and imagine. Okay, so you pick this time and date. Let me give you a few tips on how to pick the time and date.

It turns out life expectancy in the United States is 79. Just pull that number out there, what the heck? And imagine the week before you die, what do you want to be doing? Who do you want to be doing it with? Where do you want to be doing it? These are all the questions to answer first. Once you choose how and when you will die, you can then be aware of the next question, which is, how can I create a life that will lead to that situation? This is a really critical question.

What we are finding out now, with mom being 88, a little late in the game, but what we’re finding out is that what she really wanted was to be socially included, to have people she would interact with every day, to have people that she shared some history with, where they feel she’s important, and she feels that they are important. This is really what she wanted. Instead of preparing for that, she just assumed that not being resuscitated and not being left to rot away in a nursing home would provide that, but it doesn’t.

Every two weeks, there is an administrative paperwork snafu that mom needs to deal with. So, I get a phone call, but I have thoroughly educated my siblings who are physically closer as to what the snafus were. We’ve anticipated them, discussed them, and worked them out. So, I said, "Well, mom, you know, I’ve discussed that with your youngest son, and he’s got the answer. You give him a call, and he’s got everything ready to go for you." I think I’ve been helpful to her. No, I haven’t. I’ve just, unfortunately, made her feel irrelevant, that she’s got these whippersnappers out-thinking her and going around her.

It would have been a much better experience for mom if, instead of focusing on, "I’m going to die, and everything’s going to be dispersed," she had focused on the how, where, who, what, and when of her death. I think people need to even get specific. Don’t want to die of congestive heart failure or cancer? Do you want to die of Alzheimer’s? Really, just pick it. You know, the top three or four causes of death are heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, diabetes. Hey, pick one. What do you think? What do you want? Pick one, and then pick an age of death. You really have to make up your mind about this.

Once you pick the age you want to die at, where you want to die, who you’d like to be there, what you’d like to be doing the week before your death, then it becomes more obvious how you want to conduct your life today. It facilitates a lot of decision-making. It also gives you enthusiasm because you have something now very pleasant to work towards, which is an ideal lifestyle situation that you have chosen. If you apply yourself to that, you can create a lifetime of happiness, fulfillment, and relevance to those around you. This will lead you to the positive actions of building happiness and the health to support that happiness instead of the emptiness of just not wanting to be resuscitated or not wanting to die in a hospital.

Making the negative decision of what you do not want is very bleak. You could die in an empty house with no heat and dirty sheets. That does fit the "Do Not Resuscitate, Die at Home" option, but nobody wants that either. So, viewing death in a positive light and seeing it really for the achievement that it is—the capstone to a well-lived life—and then creating a positive vision. This positive vision will sustain and guide you to building a life filled with events and friendships that make you happy. This vision that you create will also motivate you to adopt the habits necessary to have good health today that will create the end-of-life experience that you really want.

This is really important. You have to have the guts to stare down death and say, "All right, I’m going to die," and really plan that. You will come to a lot of amazing decisions once you work your way back that actually make today just an awesome experience. So, flip the script. Welcome death, but just not today. Examine all the ways to die and pick one, then pick the age you wish you could die. I would suggest 79, as the average age of death in the United States. If you want to go a little earlier or a little later, not a problem. It’s your number. You pick it. Remember, you can change this at any time.

I encourage you to look around at people in your life who have achieved that age. Look super close. Don’t rely on some media report about some billionaire. No, no, that’s not what you want to know. What you really want to know is what does that age feel like? So, pick the optimal age based on your observations or the oldest age you feel you could tolerate. Then, look at the lives of those who have achieved that age that you aspire to. Really look. What diseases do they have? What limitations do they have? How are you going to live today to avoid those limitations or achieve the outcomes they have that you desire? Ask them what they ate and did in the 10 years or six months prior, and decide what you want to emulate or what you’d like to avoid. This gives you a positive, proactive, and positive terrain where you can actually achieve positive goals that create happiness in your life today, health in your life today, and will create health and happiness in the future.

Once you have a list of things that you want to emulate or follow and things you want to avoid, wow, game on. Anyone age 70 or older will tell you that their health and their activities with humans are their greatest joy. So, decide what activities you want to engage in and with whom, then it will become clear what level of health you need to maintain or achieve. This vision will motivate you and clarify to you the habits you need to maintain your health, what habits you want to adopt, and the key to amazing health.

There is no inspiration in a DNR order or an unvarnished desire to live to die at home. Add those details to the picture, and that will make it the wonderful, fulfilling event that it can be.

So, how to get started? I’ll tell you what I did. My answers are not your answers, but hopefully, they’ll inspire you and jog your mental process to get you thinking about what would be best for you. I did my own survey, so to speak, and decided that any time after 70 would be just fine with me. Now, you can change this at any time. I realized I could pick 70, and then when I get to 70, I might say, "Hey, you know, I think I could hang out till 80," and that’s perfectly okay to do it that way. But you have to pick a number somewhere in the future. You can repeat this exercise as often as you like. I certainly will.

For example, I love to cook. Unfortunately, I cook for 6 to 12 people, that amount of food, and end up freezing the additional servings. I’ve got, well, two full freezers. What if I was surrounded by younger people, and whenever I cooked a strawberry or blueberry cobbler, I could eat one piece and—boom—everyone else would eat the rest of it? Wouldn’t that be great? Then they would be happy, I would be happy, and I could bake another cobbler or a banana bread or an apple cake or something like that. I would not be eating so much of it that it would adversely affect my health, and the extra would be enjoyed by other people, creating happiness and a sense of community, and for me, a sense of relevance or increased relevance.

What if I could make banana bread and have a kid nearby to lick the bowl and smile at me like it was the biggest gift? "Oh my god, I get to lick the bowl!" Or what if I could brine a 12-pound beef brisket and have a loving group of younger people I could share it with? What if I could make a huge bowl of salad, and it would be eaten before it spoiled? What if I could teach my recipes to people who lived with me or nearby, and they would make the recipes and share a small portion with me? What if I had people one or two generations younger to walk in the woods or the jungle with me, or even younger children who would gather berries and I would make them a pie? These are just some starting points.

By looking at these events that I would want to have happening in my life in the days, weeks, months before my death, it lets me know I need to stay strong enough to stand up in front of the stove or in front of a counter and mix these ingredients. I need to have good enough vision to measure them out. I need to be able to bend over and put it in the oven. This lets me know what level of health I need to sustain and maintain. This is the way you should envision your death: pick a year, and don’t feel the social pressure of 100, 200, or whatever years people pick. If you just pick a year in the future, it will definitely guide you.

Another example is I love to walk in the jungle. Well, it’s a pretty dangerous place. Excuse me, my house is a little hazardous. The other day, about three days ago, I evicted a caterpillar, which happened to be the most dangerous and deadly caterpillar in the world. If you touch it, the spines prick you and cause you to bleed to death internally—game over. But I saw this little caterpillar and thought, "What a cute caterpillar, absolutely adorable." I put the dustpan edge next to it, it crawled up on it, and I took it outside—that was the end of that. But the point is, though, I plan to live until 80. There are some things I am not going to do today. For example, I am not going to walk in the jungle alone. I’m going to have somebody walk with me so if I need help or whatever, that person can help me. Also, I would like to go skydiving. Since my date to die is when I’m 70, I’m going to go skydiving when I’m 69 and a half, and it’ll be a tandem dive. You can even plan dangerous, adventurous things to do and decide when you want to do them. Interesting, isn’t it?

These are some starting points. Maybe someone else, like maybe some guy, would have a wood or steelworking shop and show interested younger people how to use tools and give a particularly promising kid a tool they had mastered, maybe as a gift. So, apply your imagination to your life, but make connections to people 20, 40, and 60 years younger than you, depending on your age. But 20-year increments. So, take your age, subtract 20, and you need to start befriending people of that age, teaching them things, and showing them things. Obviously, pick ones who are receptive—not everyone will be. But start creating a community of people who have received your kindness, who you like and enjoy, and it can really enrich your life and keep you from the empty nest syndrome. The empty life syndrome is what can really kill you.

When you make these connections actively with people who are 20, 40, and 60 years younger than you, it helps you remain connected and have a reason to live. It keeps you from getting caught up in the synthetic life of fake caring, fake news, and fake drama from the TV, or worse, the old age experience that so many people want to avoid—that old age emptiness. Once you get a clear vision of what you want your death to look like, you can examine your day and ask, "Is this action I’m taking today leading where I want to go?" and make adjustments. Now, you actually have a navigation system to create the life for your desired capstone, which is that space of time the week or two weeks before your death.

I hope this has inspired you to upgrade your life and get a reason to be healthy, a reason that is so strong and compelling that it will inspire you to do whatever you have to do to stay in the game of life.

Oh, here they are. Yay! Technology is working. It is on our side. Yay! Excuse me. Oh, wait, excuse me. We have our Shilajit. So, I want you to take a look at this. See if you can get a good look. And we’re going to stir it. Bam! What a transformation. Yep. I’m not going to lie to you. This does not taste good. That’s why a lot of times I don’t get it done before the end of the show. It does not taste good. But down the hatch. The only tip I can give for getting this down is to dilute it in a good volume like eight ounces and drink it when you’re seriously thirsty because if you’re not thirsty, you’re going to think, "No, I’m not going to drink that." Wait, wait. Aftertaste alert. You have to chase with water.

Okay, ready for questions. This person says, "Hi, Dr. Daniels. I was wondering if turpentine can heal herpes 1 and 2. Please let me know." I’m not quite sure what you’re asking me. Let’s just say you’re asking if you have an outbreak, can turpentine heal it? The answer is yes. Most people find that if they get a herpes cold sore outbreak, they can dab it with turpentine and bam, gone in like an hour or less—like a miracle. Can it stop you from getting future outbreaks? It can decrease the outbreaks. But the true solution to herpes type 1 and type 2 is for you to eat more connective tissue.

Dr. Daniels, what is the best source of collagen for helping to treat plantar fasciitis? Probably cow foot, cow foot soup with the skin on. No skin, no cure.

Dr. Daniels, I was referred to you by somebody in Australia. He said that you could help me. I am 51 years old—this guy is young—51 and have numerous health issues. I’m in chronic pain daily. So, he hurts every day. Diabetes, stage 4 kidney failure, heart disease, congestive heart failure, peripheral artery disease, coronary artery disease, high blood pressure—and he’s got all the three-letter codes for this—PAD, CAD, HBP, but I gave you the English translation. And blockage of both my legs and neuropathy, and so on. Oh, he has more. He has more conditions. He’s not even typing out. Okay. I’m looking to do the new med beds once they’re open to the public. I have no idea what that is. I have 12 grandbabies at the age of 51. Congratulations. I am jealous. I need to get healthy before—even if they have to abduct me and bring me back to their ship. Laugh out loud. Okay.

This is amazing. This is really relevant to what we’re talking about today. This person is 51 years old and they have grandchildren, which is wonderful. This person, at a young age, decided that when they died, they wanted to have grandchildren on this earth. Now, I have no grandchildren. I did not make that visualization of grandchildren. I didn’t plan for it, unfortunately. So, this person is very well planned for the social networking issue. They have 12 grandkids. They have a place to go. They are provided for, but they did not focus on their health. The good news is that chronic pain, diabetes, stage 4 kidney failure, heart disease, and congestive heart failure can all be remedied and relieved by the diet in the Candida Cleaner document, which you can find at vitalitycapsules.com. So, it’s vitalitycapsules.com. You want to download the Candida Cleaner report, the free document. Very, very important. Download that and follow it. If you need individualized direction or whatever, then you can also go to vitalitycapsules.com, click on the appointment tab, and make an appointment. But you’ve got a very important piece of the puzzle—the 12 grandbabies solved, which is good. Congratulations.

This person says, "I have a cat. I now have a red circle on my wrist that I’m figuring out is ringworm. Can you tell me how to get rid of it? It’s so embarrassing. I should have just said asking for a friend." Okay, so now I know when people say asking for a friend, they’re just asking for themselves. That is good to know because I’m like, these weird friends they have. Okay, so we don’t know if the circle is a circle like this, or if it’s a circle around, it’s a circle around like this around the wrist. It’s your bracelet that you’re wearing. It is not your cat. If it’s a circle like this, it’s still probably not your cat unless your cat scratched you. So what is it? It’s a circulation and liver issue, but what’s the answer? Let’s just cut to the chase. If it’s a ring like this, then you can just apply turpentine to it, and it’ll go away. You can apply turpentine three times a day, but you need to drink plenty of water. You do need to poop three times a day so the stuff in that red ring will leave your body. That’s the simple, simple answer. Go easy on the cat, though. I don’t know if it’s the cat.

Dr. Daniels, I wanted to know what you thought about sea moss, bladderwrack, and black seed. I’m seeing a lot of this now, especially the sea moss. Okay, so it just depends on who has the money and who’s paying for ads. All this stuff you’re seeing a lot of is simply advertising. That’s it. It’s got nothing to do with you and probably nothing to do with health either. So, what do I think about these things? Quite honestly, I’ve tried all these things. I don’t use any of them anymore. So, let’s just go over them quickly. Sea moss is a high-mineral substance, and this is something that’s been latched onto, especially by vegans who don’t eat meat. A lot of them are attempting to get nutrients from sea moss to help with their crumbling bones. It will help a little bit, but it’s not going to solve the real problem. So, for sea moss, I say if you like sea moss, then you can use it as a thickener or a flavoring or whatever for your soups and beans. Bladderwrack is another type of seaweed. Can I say ditto? Then there’s black seed. Black seed is very curious. Black seed is actually the seed of the onion plant, and it has powerful anti-parasitic properties, but it’s darn tasty. I use black seed. I’ll sprinkle it in my rice or sprinkle it on dishes or use it in certain zucchini dishes. It’s very nice. It also goes by the name of Kalonji. I use it as a spice. I don’t use any of these three for healing. Why? I have found that turpentine and shilajit do as much or more than any one or all of these three. So, what I would say is if you’re curious, any of these three is totally harmless. Give it a try, see what you think. If you think it’s helped you to feel better over a two-week period, then add it to what you’re doing. If not, take it to the curb.

Good morning, Dr. Daniels. This is Frank from Syracuse. Oh, hi, Frank. It’s always nice to hear from somebody from Syracuse. One of my newest granddaughters—okay, now what really would have been helpful is to give me your age, but she’s new, so why don’t we say she’s under one year of age—was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. The doctors say that the immune system is fighting the pancreas, so she is being given insulin as needed. Whoa, red flag right there. So, she’s being given insulin as needed. That means there’s a time when she doesn’t need insulin, and that means that her parents have her on a diet that is destroying her. Just saying. My wife and I have been stern anti-vaxxers with very few exceptions like tetanus. We will be having another tetanus vaccine. It’s just as bogus as the other ones, so you don’t need to update your tetanus. My daughter, the mother of this particular grandchild, is in the Air Force and is buying into the idea that the vaccines are okay. Stop right there. Stop right there. Wipe this grandkid off. Just give them love and let them sail off into the sunset, and hopefully, you have other grandkids that will be healthy. But I digress.

My question is, could this type of type 1 diabetes be a reaction to some of the vaccines? The answer is absolutely. Why? Type 1 diabetes is known. You can look this up. Google it. Look it up. They’re teaching this in medical school. Type 1 diabetes is caused by two things. Eighty percent of all type 1 diabetes is caused by dairy consumption. So, if you stopped feeding the kid dairy, or if mom didn’t have so much dairy to eat during her pregnancy, the kid would not be diabetic. Literally, 80% of type 1 diabetes gone. That means for this kid—again, I don’t know the age of the kid—if you get dairy 100% out of his life, just get rid of it, there’s a good chance he’ll make a complete recovery, actually. So, that’s one cause. The second cause is, again, this is believed in medical school, regular doctors, there’s nothing radical about me, there’s some type of infectious thing that happens—viral or whatever—actually unidentified, that stimulates the problem in the pancreas, and then the dairy—boom! Those two, you’ve got type 1 diabetes. So, obviously, with the vaccines, they’re injecting live organisms into the child, so of course, it could cause type 1 diabetes. But your daughter, the mother of this child, has 100% custody, and it’s her child, and she has a right to raise this child the way she wants to. If you don’t like it, then you need to get some more grandkids from maybe one of your other children. Or what I’m doing is I’m adopting kids and calling them my grandkids, and I’m the third grandmother. So, I have quite a few grandkids now, actually. I’m very happy about that. You need to understand that you did the best you could to raise your kids, and it’s your daughter’s turn to do the best she can. If this is what she wants to do, and she wants to be the mother of a type 1 diabetic, she wants to go through the ritual of doing as she’s told, and following the ritual of taking the kid to the doctor, having a doctor make him sick, pretending to be totally shocked, and following the instructions the doctor gives, then that’s that. I mean, hey, she is in the Air Force, right? So, she is totally—she is herself government property, and it’s only fitting that she would expect it’s reasonable for her kid to be government property. I think you’re barking up the wrong tree here, and I think you need to let go and let God, and focus on her not vaccinating the next kid. Say, "Hey, what do you think? Raise this kid this way, and then the next kid, don’t vaccinate the next kid." How about that? That’s the way I would talk to her. I would not even discuss this kid because the more you tell her she’s done something wrong, the more resistance you’re going to get. Not only are you going to have a very sick grandchild, but you’re going to have a negative relationship with your daughter. Hopefully, if you have more kids, you can encourage them to have children and have some kind of consensus situation.

Oh, my God. Yay. All right, this is a very long one, but let’s see if we can sort this out. A lot of times, when you have a problem, it helps to focus on the problem and solve the problem. A lot of people will have a health problem, and they’ll try a scattershot approach, like a machine gun or something, when they need to try to understand their problem.

This person says, "I love your podcast. They’re so helpful. I am constantly dealing with lupus." So, what is lupus? It’s syphilis. This person has a parasite that is eating away at her connective tissue. So, she has shock, fibromyalgia, pain in her connective tissue. Well, wouldn’t we expect that? She has tendinitis, deterioration of the connective tissue around her joints, of course. So, what she’s telling me is she has a condition, and more of it, and more of it, and more of it. She has carpal tunnel, the tendons in her wrists are hurting her and dissolving. Tennis elbow, the tendons in her elbow are dissolving. Nerve, back, and constant chronic pain. That’s telling me that the connective tissue in her vertebra and joints in her back and her spine are also deteriorating. She has been looking the other way on this problem for some time. Now, the other thing is a devastating spread of this problem. I mean, this is like eating her alive. It suggests she might actually be taking steroids. You just can’t get this sick all by yourself. Stiff knees, and shoulders, and arms she cannot raise without using one arm to push the other up. Here is the other shoe drop. The rheumatologist and pain management have not been any help except the steroid injections. So, she gets the steroid infusions, they give her temporary relief of the pain, and then destroy all of her connective tissue. She’s going to be in a wheelchair pretty soon here. Then I was in more pain than before the meds. Really? You don’t say. It was a last resort because none of the natural kitchen meds helped. I even tried CBD flower. You’re missing it. Totally missing it. I don’t know what a natural kitchen medicine is. I have no idea. CBD flower, again, irrelevant to her problem. She would be better off smoking marijuana, the psychoactive stuff, because what it would do is it would shift her awareness away from the pain. But it also gets the parasites to get a little confused themselves because they kind of get a little bit high, and they stop nibbling away at her. So, she’s cannabinous, but she’s in the right church, wrong pew. She has a profound connective tissue deficiency, and then she’s worsened it by taking Solumetra, which destroys and dissolves connective tissue. I don’t know how financially able she is, but she’s spending considerable money on CBD, the wrong part of the marijuana plant, really the wrong plant. She needs the psychoactive marijuana if that’s what she wants to do.

I tried your Vitality Capsules, and I’ve gotten up to six capsules, still couldn’t get three poops, and could not go any higher because of severe stomach upset. Okay, stop right there. She needs to take them with meals and make her meals larger. Now, what should be in her meals? She definitely has given a compelling case for cow foot soup. Cow foot soup, pig ears, pig feet—those are the meals she needs to be eating. I would say she said she’s tried both Vitality Capsules, so try regular strength Vitality Capsules. Let’s just pause here. Why are Vitality Capsules upsetting her stomach so much? Let’s say she’s eating with food. It’s because the stomach lining, the whole stomach lining is made of connective tissue. Literally, her stomach lining is worn thin—paper thin—so it is easily upset. Not only that, but she’s taking medicines that compromise her immune system and proliferate the parasites that are in her stomach. What she would need to do is start eating connective tissue. In fact, she may even want to eat either tripe or chitlins to reinforce her stomach lining, to strengthen it, and then she would be able to eat, take the Vitality Capsules, and poop. Thank you so much for educating us. Yeah, she might need an appointment even after all that detailed explanation there.

Hi Dr. Daniels, I absolutely love your podcast and approach. It is truly heartwarming to have a doctor like you out there. I am 36 years old, vegan, and have been taking glutathione for around three months. When I started feeling nauseous, headaches, and weakness—so what we don’t understand is, did the glutathione cause the nausea, headaches, and weakness? Or did she start taking it because she was feeling nauseous, headaches, and weakness? So, if she got the nausea, headache, and weakness after starting the glutathione, then just stop the glutathione—not for you.

I began expelling, I did a coffee enema after a couple of days feeling bad, and soon after began expelling so-called ropeworms—a lot of them—on a daily basis. Some reach 25 inches. What is your opinion about ropeworms? It seems that there’s no clear answer from any medical authority about what these actually are. I was also diagnosed with high amounts of H. pylori a couple of years ago. Your opinion means a lot and will be truly appreciated. Thank you, Tupa. Okay, Tupa. You have not given me any information that I need. What you’ll need to know is, are you having any symptoms? If you’re not having any symptoms, I would say, don’t trouble trouble till trouble troubles you. So, if you are a happy vegan and doing fine, then there is no need to take the glutathione. There is no need to do coffee enemas. If indeed you are feeling fine. If you are not feeling fine on the vegan diet, the question is, what is it you’re trying to address? I don’t have any information here, so I can’t really tell you. I do have this H. pylori clue. H. pylori is a tap water contaminant. So that’s where you get H. pylori from—tap water. So definitely nix the tap water. Believe it or not, if you stop drinking tap water, the H. pylori will clear itself. What should you drink? Answer: just drink distilled water and get a distiller and distill your own water.

Alrighty. Let’s see here. Hi, Dr. Daniels, I love your podcast and appreciate all the work you do. Turpentine is the best. I am so glad that you’re getting miraculous results from turpentine. I mean, turpentine—honestly, you can’t beat it. And literally anyone who’s got the balls to—well, first of all, just the courage to download the report and read it, and then the balls to try it—really stands to make themselves about $200,000 richer, wealthier. This is real cash after-tax money over a period of several years. Why? Because they’re just not going to need to spend a dollar on health insurance, doctor visits, or screening tests. And for me, it gives me the independence and confidence to live in the jungle. I know I’m not going to a hospital. I know I’m not going to call an ambulance. Why even live on a road where an ambulance could travel? So, it just really opens up more horizons in your life and freedom—financial freedom and logistical freedom. For example, we now see with the work-from-home revolution, people can now live anywhere they want. Well, can you imagine if we have the health revolution where you’re totally free from the tyranny and torture of the hospital?

Five years ago, I became ill with Lyme disease. So, you need to go to vitalitycapsules.com, click on Replay. It’s totally free. It’s not a pitch. Listen to my replay, “Lyme Disease: Is It a Hoax?” I think it’s “Lyme Disease: Menace or Hoax,” something like that. You want to read that, and you want to understand what you have. So, you went to a naturopath. Then I found turpentine and other ways of detox. Great. So, you gave your naturopath the heave-ho, and you’re feeling better. Wonderful. I feel like I have a life again, but I’m still working on detoxing. Okay.

During the time I was ill, I accumulated weight in my butt and upper legs. Although I weigh about 105 pounds, I’m 5 feet 5. 105? 5 feet 5? This person is very skinny. So, by medical standards, she’s 20 pounds underweight. I still have this extra weight in these areas. I know my own body, and this is not natural. I feel it. I barely had a butt before I got sick. This is very unnatural. Can you please tell me what might be going on with my body? I’ve not had any luck asking other doctors. I was thinking it had to do with lymphs not draining. I still think this is possible. By the way, I do take Vitality Capsules—three a day—but I’m not having luck with the three bowel movements yet. I do make my own distilled water and drink plenty of water each day. I exercise regularly. I still need to work on parts of my diet, though. I’m detoxing regularly and still seeing parasites. This seems to be a big problem.

So, add enemas to... Well, first, let me tell you about Vitality Capsules. Vitality Capsules—everyone has a different dose. Some people need one a day, and some people need ten a day. That is the truth. That’s why on the bottle, I tell people to start with one on the first day, take two on the second, three on the third, and so on. You need to increase more. What you will find is once you get those three poops a day, you’ll just break through to a whole other level of healing. But with natural healing, there’s not a one-size-fits-all. The nice thing about Vitality Capsules is they are non-toxic. They’re totally safe. So, if you need to kick it up a notch, I’m not saying go straight to ten, I’m just saying go to four or five or six—whatever it takes. As you heal and improve, you will actually be able to back down from whatever number. I have customers who bought Vitality Capsules and are taking nine a day, and they’re pooping three times a day. As they detox, as they improve, they need fewer and fewer Vitality Capsules.

Would you explain how to use turpentine with castor oil and reasons for using it with castor oil instead of sugar? Go to vitalitycapsules.com and download the free report, "The Candida Cleaner," and it goes over those things. You can sort out if you want to do it with castor oil or without castor oil. I’ll just say I don’t recommend castor oil on a regular basis because it is too harsh. Most people are not able to take turpentine and castor oil on a regular basis. It’s pretty rough on the system.

Oh, Nisa. Thank you, Nisa. Nisa says, "Dear Dr. Jen, your wonderful show brings challenges beyond conventional wisdom." Yeah, a lot of people have big challenges when they listen, but that’s okay. They can choose to pick up the challenges or just say, "You know, I’m going to let that go by." So that’s fine. Everybody gets to choose.

This is crazy. This person has written too much. Maybe I can get to it next week. We’ve only got like seconds left. I’d like to encourage people to listen to this episode again, contemplate your death, and pick a date certain. You really want to focus on how you want to die. For example, if you want to die in your sleep peacefully, then no, you don’t want chemotherapy. You don’t want to die in pain and agony, puking. For me, I reached a period in my life years ago where I was following a raw food diet. My hair was falling out, my teeth were getting loose, and my vision was not so good. I said, "You know what? I am not going to die toothless, blind, and hairless." Since I had imagined that I would die with my teeth and some hair, I stopped following that diet. You really have to have a vision of your death and how you want to die. You can even figure out which organs do you want to take to your grave. That’s going to be a help. If you can picture exactly what you want, how you want to die, and when you want to die, then that’s going to really inform your present-day behavior and help you make decisions that will lead to that vision of happiness that you aspire to.

This is Dr. Daniels signing off, saying goodbye. And as always, think happens. Let it happen to you.
